Mapletree Commercial Trust NPI up 2.2% to $86.26m in Q2

Gains were backed by higher contributions from VivoCity, MBC I, and MLHF.

Mapletree Commercial Trust (MCT) recorded an NPI growth of 2.2% YoY from $84.42m to $86.26m, an announcement revealed. Revenue also inched up 2.5% YoY to $109.92m.

Meanwhile, distributable income and distribution per unit both rose 1.3% to $65.56m and $0.23m, respectively.

“The sustained growth in MCT’s Q2 FY18/19 earnings was driven by higher contribution from VivoCity, MBC I and MLHF,” MCT Management CEO Sharon Lim said.

Portfolio NPI for the quarter rose 2.2% YoY with a 78.5% NPI margin whilst committed occupancy of the portfolio remained high at 98.7%.

According to the firm, VivoCity sustained its robust performance with growths in shopper traffic and tenant sale recorded at 5.8% and 2.8% YoY, respectively. VivoCity’s gross revenue and NPI in Q2 also inched up 2.8% and 2.2%, respectively thanks to higher rental income from new and renewed leases, achieved together with the asset enhancement initiatives.

Meanwhile, occupancy in the firm’s office/business park assets remained high, ranging from 97.8% commitment at MBC I and Mapletree Anson to full occupancy at MLHF.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
